Watched Evil Genius on netflix over the last few days, really chilling and unsettling but absolutely compulsive viewing, it will stay with you after you've watched it. Really recommend if you are into True Crime.

The first episode with guy who had the bomb around his neck. The video footage went on about 2 seconds too long!!

 

[spacemunky]

Bit slow, but just finished season 1 of Dead to Me.

Not gonna lie, I quite enjoyed it  but then I also watch Eurovision as a bit of guilty pleasure.

"The English Game". I think it's on iPlayer. About the origins of the FA and football league in England. Very good and it shows that, even a century or so later, tactics and formations applied then, still apply now.

The way the working class supporters and players made a huge difference to what was a "Toff's" game enabling it to became a game for everyone.

I watched this a few weeks ago, thought it was brilliant

Even my wife enjoyed it and she "hates" football. I think it's quite historically correct as well, which makes it even better.

Yeah I'm a closet Eurovision fan as well. 

 

I really enjoyed it. I mean I film with Pierce Brosnan, Exploding yachts, hamster wheel accidents, abusing Americans and homo erotic Russians. What's not to like?

yeah, my missus like it too. Although it is a "football" series, it's more about the class struggle really, Some great performances in there too. And it looked great.

 

Would definately watch again

It’s not historically correct. For starters, they win the cup in the wrong year of 1884. In reality Blackburn won in 1885 and 1886. 
 

I thought it was absolutely bloody awful 

[Webbo]

It was Downton Abbey with goal posts. It wasn't awful but it wasn't great either.

I am not a fan of Eurovision, but really enjoyed the film. It certainly had the spirit of Eurovision but was funny and heartwarming too. 

 

Definately better than I expected

Watched the Pianist on Netflix last night, cracking film and deservedly won an oscar for Adrian Brody.  8.5/10

[StanSP]

Good.

I read an interview with the producers (?) who said they wanted to be delicate but not take away from the horror of what happened. I think they got it about right.

[Tuna]

Watched Wild Wild Country in the last week or so, and thoroughly enjoyed it.

 

It's quite long (6 hour + episodes) but it's worth it, it's about the Rajneesh movement in central Oregon in the 1980s, and everything that happened there, it's a story that's absolutely incredible and unbelievable.

Better call Saul is class. Making me want to rewatch breaking bad. 

[spacemunky]

I thought "Athlete A" was very well done. All about the whole USA gymnastics abuse scandal.

Yes, Agreed. Takes you back to the times leading up to why Saul got involved and fills a few gaps
